The 2018 feature film Fast Color is on track to become a TV series with Amazon Studios developing it. The feature film writers, Julia Hart and Jordan Horowitz, are on board to work with JuVee Productions which is backed by Viola Davis and Julius Tennon. The film received a lot of critical praise and got a release earlier this year digitally and this month on home video.
“Since the day we premiered at SXSW, there has been an incredible outpouring of grassroots support for this film,” Hart said. “We couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to continue living in this world, with these women, and can’t imagine better partners than Viola and Julius and Mickey and Pete and everyone at Amazon.”
“Our commitment at JuVee as artists is what fuels our imagination. We want to play. We want to challenge. We want to ask, “What if….,” said Davis and Tennon. “Fast Color allows us to live in a world that fullfills all of the above. It’s a story and world that reminds us that not only do we have a soul, but we have extraordinary, unlikely women who fiercely protect it.”
